I left the military after 10 years of service in 1999, about 7 years before the US economy slumped. In the 10 years between getting out and when I would have retired I became a very skilled commercial concrete worker and completed an Associate Degree in Civil Engineering Technology (took 4 years of part time school)
My education and experience have propelled me ahead in my career compared to where I would be had I stayed Navy and got out in 2009 when work had dried up.

Seriously. Best decision I ever made.
